  A Place For Mom

We looked into a few different facilities and we chose Mariposa at Ellwood Shores because of the proximity to family and we had high marks after our tour. The atmosphere is beautiful and the people here are very friendly. My brother is happy here and he refers to it as home. They do have a lot of activities to provide to the residents, but they do not interest my brother much, but he has met a lot of friends here. They do zoom visits with families every week and they have also been COVID free for 9 months. If I had to go to a nursing home, I would absolutely go here and would recommend to others.

We chose this facility at the time because it was close to home so I was able to visit at anytime. She also used to work next door so it was a familiar area that she felt comfortable being in. It seemed like a nice friendly community. The staff members here were not very attentive and they dismissed me on things I would suggest them to do with my mom. They were not very helpful and did not seem to know anything about my mom. My mom told me that they did try really hard, but they were understaffed. I did not have a very good experience here.

Each time i visit Mariposa I am invited into a friendly engaged community where residents are cherished and loved. There is an abundance of caring staff to answer any question and help. The large main living/dining space is a wonderful place for the residents to enjoy their meals together. When it is not meal time, the space is always buzzing with activities. It feels so warm and welcoming with the fireplace and stylish but comfortable furniture. Snacks are always available. The sunny apartments are elegantly appointed with space for everything you need and nothing you don't. Upstairs, there is a gym, hairdresser, movie theater, and art room. There is list of activities for every interest and has something for everyone. Lovely comfortable library niches are sprinkled through out. These are inviting places to sit and read or have a chat with family and friends. Mariposa welcomes families to gather here and think of the entire building as an extension of Grandmas home. Don't miss the beautiful courtyard. Comfortable deep seating invites all residents and guests to gather and socialize. Just lovely. But the best thing I can say is how Mariposa really feels like an extension of grandmas house - warm and welcoming.
